Matrix view

Matrix view is a Vault UI browsing mode that displays secret keys as rows and environments as columns. It helps you see which environments have values for the same key.

Why it matters

Environment-specific secrets are easy to lose track of in a single-environment list. Matrix view makes gaps and drift visible:

• a key exists in development but not production;
• a value differs between staging and production;
• an environment was created but not populated.

How to activate it

Open the Vault UI:

fatima vault

Use the command palette item Switch to matrix view or press v to toggle between environment view and matrix view.

Working in matrix view

The selected row is the secret key. The selected column is the environment. Editing updates the value for that key and environment. Revealing values still uses the same reveal toggle as the standard environment view.
